I don't know about you, but my wallet still hasn't fully recovered from the holidays — and now Valentine's Day is swiftly approaching. So this year, in a mutual effort to stick to our budget, my wonderful husband and I have shamelessly agreed to set a spending limit of just $25. And to be honest, I kind of love it. It's just enough cash to get creative with our gifts but not enough to do any damage.

In fact, don't tell him this, but I've already started shopping around and found so many heartfelt (and hilarious) options for $25 or less. Here's a list of my 35 top picks, just in case you want to steal them for your own sweetheart.

$8
Target

Remind your loved one that they're irreplaceable with this mug that reads, "You are my favorite." The stoneware cup is both microwave- and dishwasher-safe and holds up to 15 ounces of their favorite coffee, tea or hot cocoa.

$11
Amazon

In the language of love and appliances, a regular mini waffle maker says that you like each other, but a heart-shaped mini waffle maker says that you're head over heels. (We don't make the rules!) Clue your partner in by leaving this Dash Mini Waffle Maker in the kitchen. The device heats up in seconds, so you can whip up breakfast and then get right back to snuggling.

$10
Walmart

Who doesn't love to snuggle up during chilly weather? Warm up their remaining winter days and nights with a cozy plush blanket. Adorable heart-shaped lollipops adorn this comfy throw, and the machine-washable design is ideal for everyday use.

$11
Amazon

For the little Valentine on your list, we highly recommend this heartfelt board book. Over the course of the story, the earnest Little Blue Truck delivers Valentine's Day cards to his farm animal friends and wonders if he'll receive any in return. The book is full of fun textures for tiny hands to explore.

$24
Amazon

Kissable lips are such a cute idea. Bring a smile to your Valentine's face (and add a thoughtful touch to their skincare routine) with this special lip treatment. The LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask is incredibly hydrating, smells absolutely amazing and genuinely makes lips look smoother and plumper overnight. Bonus? You can choose your favorite scent.

$13
Amazon

If your partner values conversation and quality time, then surprise them with "Let's Get Deep: Questions for Couples." This intimacy-building card deck contains 400 prompts like, "Do you sing in the shower?" and "What first attracted you to me?" After a few rounds, they'll feel like they know you on a whole new level.

$10
Cheryl and Co

Send the message that they're the only one for you, or start your child's Valentine's Day on the sweetest note with this buttercream-frosted cookie. The treat comes nestled inside a box that features endearing phrases for the special day.

These adorable handcrafted glasses have gone viral on TikTok (and for good reason), so we already know they will win your besties over. Snag them in a variety of classic Galentine icons, like gummy bears, hearts or cherries, or choose an icon based on your BFF's favorite colors.

$22
Bonne Maman

Give the gift of bright and flavorful spreads with this gift box from Bonne Maman. Eight mini jars of the brand's natural preserves and honey are nestled in a beautifully illustrated box that's ideal for gift giving. This sweet option will really show them how much you care.

Williams-Sonoma

While flowers may not last forever, this stunning heart-shaped bud vase will. (Of course, we think you should definitely give the vase with flowers inside.)

$15

Help them enjoy a better night's sleep while protecting their hair and skin in the process with the Kitsch Satin Pillowcase.

If you can't get away for Valentine's Day, then a romantic night-in is the next best thing. Treat your partner to an evening of decadent, dippable bites with this mini fondue pot.

$12

Give your spice-loving guy a good laugh with these cheeky chili pepper socks. They're woven from performance blend material, so they're super soft and surprisingly durable. And if you want to appeal to his taste buds, too? Pair the novelty socks with a gourmet hot sauce set.
